Impasto Floral Study in Pastels

This is a vibrant and highly textural painting featuring abstract floral shapes, executed with a classic, sculptural oil painting technique.

Subject: A close-up view of several stylized flowers, likely poppies or lilies, set against a soft, abstract background.

Style and Technique: Heavy Impasto Oil Painting. The paint is applied extremely thickly, creating visible, three-dimensional peaks and ridges. The technique suggests the use of a palette knife rather than a brush, giving the forms a solid, almost sculpted quality.

Color Palette: A luminous palette of soft pastels. Dominant colors include buttery yellow, pale pink, lavender purple, and light turquoise/sky blue.

Mood: Cheerful, dynamic, and impressionistic, capturing the light and energy of a garden with bold texture.
